Gas supply requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Fire Hazard

l Range must be connected to a regulated gas supply.

. L.P.gas supply must Not exceed a pressure of 14-inch water column. This must be checked by a qualified technician before installing this range.

lDo Not use an open flame to test for leaks from gas connections.

l New, A.G.A. design-certified flexible gas line should be used when local codes permit.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire, explosion or personal injury.

A n This installation must conform with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, installations must conform with American National Standard, National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 2223.1 - latest edition**.

B n Input ratinas shown on the serial/rating plate are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000 feet, ratings are reduced at a rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.

Cn This range is equipped for use with

NATURAL gas It is design-certified by A.G.A. for NATURAL and L.P. gases with appropriate conversion. The serial/rating plate, located under the maintop, has information on the type of gas that can be used. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. See Panel E for L.P. gas conversion instructions.

D n Provide a gas supply line of 3/4” rigid pipe to the range location. A smaller size - pipe on long runs may result in insufficient gas supply. Pipe-joint compounds made for use with L.P. gas must be used. With L.P. gas, piping or tubing size can be l/2” minimum. L.P. gas suppliers usually determine the size and materials used on the system.

E n If local codes permit, a new, A.G.A.

design-certified, 4-5 foot long, l/2” or 314” I.D., flexible metal appliance connector is

recommended for connecting this range to the gas supply line. Do Not kink or damage the flexible tubing when moving the range. A l/2” male pipe thread is needed for connection to pressure regulator female pipe threads.

shutoff valve

rI n The supply line shall be equipped with an approved shutoff valve. This valve should be located in the same room as the range and should be in a location that allows ease of opening and closing. Do Not block access to shutoff valve.

supply line, a corn pipe fittings must obtain an in-line

range. All strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so range will be level and in line.

H n The inlet pressure to the regulator should be as follows for both operation and checking regulator setting:

NATURALGAS:

Set pressure 5 inches

Maximum inlet pressure 14 inches

L.P.GAS:

Set pressure 11 inches

Maximum inlet pressure 14 inches

IW Line pressure testing: Testing above l/2 psi (gauge)

The range and its individual shutoff valve

must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or greater than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Testing at l/2 psi (gauge)

The range must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than l/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

Electrical requirements

Electrical Shock Hazard

l Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

lDo Not ground to a gas pipe.

l Do Not modify the power supply cord plug. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

lDo Not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in electrical shock.

lDo Not use an extension cord with this appliance.

l Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

If codes permit and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,					15.ampere,		fused
electrical	supply		is required.		A	time-delay
fuse or	circuit	breaker		is recommended.			It is
recommended			that	a separate		circuit
serving	only	this	appliance		be	provided.

Electronic ignition systems operate within wide voltage limits, but proper grounding and polarity are necessary. In addition to checking that the outlet provides 120-volt power and is correctly grounded, the outlet must be checked by a qualified electrician to see if it is wired with correct polarity

A wiring diagram is included in the literature package. The wiring diagram is also located on the underside of the storage drawer.

Recommended grounding method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is

manufactured with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3-prong,

grounding-type, wall receptacle, grounded

in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70 - latest edition*, and all local codes and ordinances. (See Figure 1.) If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong, wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
